FOUR players hit a maximum for their team during the latest round of matches in the Northwich and District League.

Lewis Webber, for champions Gladstone C, was one of three top-flight men to pot all eight balls from a single visit to the table.

It helped his side to brush aside second-placed Castle D, who find themselves a dozen points from the Division One summit.

Castle B are clear in third spot after edging out Green Dragon A, while Gladstone B squeezed past Green Dragon A by the same score.

Stu Eyres won a deciding seventh frame for Castle C against Nectar’s, meaning Jonny Lightfoot’s maximum earlier in the contest was only a consolation.

Jack Carroll’s 8-ball break was a highlight for Castle A, who won three successive frames to see off visiting Gladstone A.

The leading sides in Division Two both suffered defeats; pace-setting Lion B went down 4-3 at Barn Owl E, who made a storming start when Colin Lightfoot contributed a maximum break.

Geoff Jones won a decisive frame for the Barnton outfit later on.

Witton Chimes A lost at home to third-placed Greenbank C, who close to within a point of a promotion position as a reward.

Barn Owl B are in contention too following a 5-2 win at Lion A, while Moulton Legion were victors at fellow strugglers Iron Bridge.

Barn Owl A continue to lead the way in Division Three after easing past Blue Barrel B.

Greenbank B, in second spot, beat Witton Chimes B by the same score.

Barn Owl H continue their rise up the standings after winning for a third successive week, this time after visiting Blue Barrel A.

In the other match played, Wheatsheaf lost at home to Broken Cross.
